Board terminates Laz’s Lawn Service and hires GulfScapes at $58,500
Summary
Citing performance concerns, the board authorized terminating Laz’s Lawn Service and engaging GulfScapes Landscape Maintenance Services with a proposal of $58,500, approximately $13,000 over budget; the motion passed unanimously.
Mrs. Adams recommended terminating the Landscape Service Agreement with Laz’s Lawn Service, Inc. due to poor performance and contracting GulfScapes Landscape Maintenance Services to replace them.
Discussion noted GulfScapes’ proposal of $58,500 is about $13,000 higher than the $45,000 budgeted amount. Staff said using unassigned funds and withheld payments from Laz’s Lawn could offset the overage; GreenScapes was not an option after refusing to execute the CDD contract. The Board approved engaging GulfScapes and authorized Management to terminate Laz’s Lawn immediately; the motion passed with all in favor.
Staff will implement the contract change and apply available funds and withheld payments as needed to cover replacement plant costs and the higher contract amount.
